Honestly I would be most suspicious of the almost 10% who apparently don't need any help at all. Isn't having nothing sort of the sine qua non of a refugee?
Now, if they could only be a little bit more specific on which Biblical definition...

I only remember one definition of marriage given in the NT, but of course it's been awhile since I've read it.

"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

The OT is a little more interesting on this subject...
"If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.
"I honestly believe saying someone is a smart lawyer is damning with faint praise. The smartest people become engineers and scientists." -SU. "Yet I still see wisdom in that which Uncle Ted posts." -creek. GIVE 'EM HELL, BRIGHAM!

It definitely is, but the majority of people sharing that meme would be implying Christ's definition of marriage.

You mean the one where it is better to remain celibate like Jesus and Paul? (Matthew 19:10-11; 1 Corinthians 7:8-9)
Or the part where Jesus says divorce is unlawful (except for adultery)? (Matthew 19:3-9)
"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I'm not sure if either of those disprove the point of the meme.
Even if the meme is right in general, it's not like that limits our church in anyway from allowing gay marriage. There are several areas where we diverge from Christs teachings (or Paul's or anyone else's teachings in the NT). Allowing divorce is certainly one of those. Allowing women to speak in church is another.
Quoting scripture isn't necessarily the best way to prove something in Mormonism.
